Failure to follow these instructions with care could lead to serious health risks. Gas leaks may cause fatal fires or explosions. All gas leaks, however small, are dangerous and must be eliminated. Escaping gas can normally be traced by smell or sound, but liquid detergent should be brushed over the area to confirm the location of the leak.
Safety Instructions In LPG Gas Plants
* Never look for a leak with a naked flame. It is a good idea to spray gas cylinder bottle with soapy water. Keep the spray bottle with soapy water near the LPG gas skid so it is always a handy reminder to perform the leak test or anytime you smell something strange.
* Always perform a leak test after attending to a new refilled gas cylinder bottle, every time you reconnect the regulator with soapy water (detergent).
* Always check the rubber tubes associated with the LPG cylinders. They should not be damaged or found to be leaking.
* Do not move cylinder bottles during operation/refills.
* Remove all source of ignition such as matches box, lighter or electronic appliance as far away from the LPG gas skid location.
* On cylinder bottles, if a leak is suspected, turn off gas supply immediately, and extinguish any standing pilot lights or naked flames.
* Always replace the seal rubber (O-ring rubber) with new one after refilling a cylinder bottles.
* Do not use hard object to purge out air from a cylinder bottle, as this may damage the brass valve, and can result to leakage.
